Groudon(Lacertes Rex) Is native to the Hoenn Region. This pokemon is characterized in lacal legend by its massive size and agressive temper. It is said to have created the continents millnia ago, in a conflict with the Diety Kyogre. It fell into a deep slumber after the Diety Raquayza clamed the two's ecpic battle. This Pokemon has not been seen until a recent event in Hoenn, where it was unleashed again. Its diet most likley consists of Golbats, and other large continental Pokemon who stray to close. This behemoth has only two natural enemys, Raquayza and Kyogre.

Features: Groudon has the unique ability to amplify the suns rays in battle. Making Fire Moves vastly more effective. Groudons massive size shows how powerfull this Pokemon truley is. It can withstand even a full on artillerty barrage unscathed. Its hide is so thick, that x-ray imaging has yet to see its innards. It roars at a ridicolous 893 Decibels, 8 times louder than a jack hammer.

Its physical appearence suggests it is related vaugley to large Dragon type Pokemon, however, it is not believed that this Pokemon is a direct decendant of any know Dragon type. Its large fangs are over 1' in lenght, and are harder than any know substance. Its claws can tear apart concrete structures. Its tail remains one of its most interesting features. The tip of its braod tail is divided into four fork like segments, and three spikes of over 3 feet in lenght decorate either side of its tail. Its hide is a bright red, but the balck lines that criss-cross it shine brightly blue. This strange mix of colors leads many Pokemon Examinests to think that Kyogre and Groudon may be related.

Commanility: This Pokemon is extremley rare. Its gender is totaly unknown to modern science, and it is not know to have any parter pokemon. Its ferocious appearence and powerfull attcks have made it a coveted prize among trainers. It is highly suggested that Trainers stay away from this lumbering behemoth if sighted. It has killed a recorded 24 trainers trying to capture or photograph it.

Senses: This Pokemons senses, except for touch, are highly fine tuned. An examination of ancient fossilized remains of its ancestors suggests this Pokemon is intelligent enough to discern human speech. Its eyesight is impeccible, its pupils are so large, they can allow light in in any situation. Its sense of smell is by far its most attunned attribute. This Pokemon is capable of smelling prey at an astonishing range of 20 miles. It appears to have a sixth sense as well. New scince informs us that Groudon can sense vibrations made by struggling prey, or walking feet, through receptors on its chin, and feet. The vibrations are then trasmitted to the creature massive nerual cortex to be identified as movement.

Habitat:It appears to wander all over the continent, stopping to rest for massive amounts of time in highly remote location. Its last know laction was in the bowels of Mt. Chimney. It creates a drought whereever it is, and when it is angered it can bring drought to all regions of the continent.

Hmmm....im having trouble deciding whether to admit this article. On one hand its fine in its own right. On the other its written in a very no scientific way. It presents myth and legend as fact and is generally very unbelievable...if anyone still reads this let me know what you think...

Appearance: Lapras are aquatic Pokémon. They are enormous, and although they appear reptilian, they are mammals. Their bodies are a bright blue in color (the lighter the color, the warmer the climate it lives in). They have four flippers; the anterior flippers are larger and used for propulsion, while the posterior flippers are smaller and used for steering. A Lapras also has a small horn on its head that slowly extends in size as it grows older, only reaching about four inches. These horns are thought to be vestigial structures that ancestors possibly used for hunting prey or attracting mates. Lapras’ necks are extremely long and allow the Lapras to scan high above the ocean’s surface for disturbances. A Lapras’ most distinctive characteristic is its large shell, which is covered with knobs of varying sizes; it is used primarily for protection, but humankind has always used it as a seat when they ride on Lapras’ backs. These shells soft at birth, but harden with the calcium provided by a mother’s milk. Their shells reach their maximum defensive level once the baby ceases feeding from its mother, which is about three years after birth.

Diet: Lapras are carnivorous, generally hunting for fish below the surface of the water. Lapras have enough lung capacity to stay underwater for up to five minutes, and will consume up to a quarter of their body weight in fish. However, they do not need to eat daily due to their relaxed lifestyle. Lapras have two rows of tiny, sharp teeth that they will use to grasp fish tightly and swallow them whole; these teeth are useless for defense due to their small size.

Reproduction: Lapras mate for life and mating seasons begin in late March, ending in July. Gestation periods are thirteen months and only one young is birthed.

Social Nature: Thanks to Lapras’ enormous stature, they are able to frighten off predators without having to fight. This has given them a very relaxed, docile nature, and so they spend their days slowly swimming through the water in groups called pods. They are very social creatures and pods range from ten to twenty individuals. The pods are matriarchal, led by the eldest female and the generations following her. The eldest female’s mate serves as a second in command and is responsible for frightening off threats. The matriarch keeps the younger ones in line and leads the pod as they swim through the water. It is not unusual for Lapras pods to join together into groups called ‘clans.’ Lapras communicate through songs which have a sleep-inducing effect on some Pokémon and most humans. In recent years, Lapras use their now sorrowful songs to locate fellow members of their pod, which are slowly losing number. Lapras’ enormous shell are sought after as collector’s items and, along with their horns, are used in jewelry. Their gentle nature prevents them from fighting back as humans spear them or capture them and take them back to sell. Lapras hunting is now illegal, but their numbers still remain low as pollution and poaching take their toll (See Article 242, "Lapras Protection").

Notable Abilities: Lapras are capable of understanding human speech, and are one of the most intelligent Pokémon in the world, with an IQ to match that of humans. There have been several cases of telepathy or other psychic powers in Lapras; these abilities occur within 40-45% of a pod. They are perfect transportation Pokémon and many are used as aquatic taxis. Their intelligence and kind disposition make them particularly well-suited to the job. Lapras are also able to manipulate ice, often releasing it in deadly beams, but these abilities are only used when their lives are in danger, and even then rarely.

That my freind...is the catch. Since Groudon is a Legandary Pokemon, nit much can possibly be know about it. With the exception of Mewtwo, almost next to nothing is known about Legandarys. Scientists have to take what they know to be the truth until they know more. This an example of that. Taking into consideration that Groudon is a legendary, I hope you will understand my point of veiw...

Yes but the concensus here is that legendaries are not one offs but simply rare Pokemon. Your article is simply not consistent with the rest of the legendary articles. Im not saying its a bad article. Its good in its own right but not for the Encyclopedia, consistancy is what we aim for here. Of course you can put mysteries in there, but saying its fangs are the hardest substance in the world is a bit unbelievable for a realistic article.

I noticed somebody did Nosepass, but not Probopass. May I reserve him? Or is he already taken?

Go for it^^

Encyclopedia Pokemonia, a real world view on Pokemon. Compiled by the members of SPPf.

Probopass article

Probopass (Chalybs complector) is a Rock and Steel type pokemon that was recently discovered and found to be the evolved form of Nosepass.

Probopass has small and beady eyes, a large red hat-like magnet on its head, a primary magnet which appears to be a gigantic nose which has iron filings gathered around it in a “moustache”, and also three smaller magnets that are known as “mini-noses”.

It has only recently being discovered, yet plenty of research has been done and several mysteries involving Nosepass have been solved by it. Probopass, unlike Nosepass, is a much more active species, that hovers around using magnetism. Probopass feed on the iron filings caught by their gigantic primary magnet using their mouth, which is tiny in comparison to its enormous primary magnet and, since it is often hidden by filings, is scarcely seen.

Probopass, being magnetic are repulsed by each other in a similar fashion to Nosepass, making reproduction incredibly difficult. To counter this, Probopass have a unique reproduction method. They can detach their mini-noses to form a new Nosepass. This was found by scientists studying the Probopass inside Mount Coronet, who were previously baffled as to why the mini-noses had dormant yet fully developed organs exactly the same as the anatomy of Nosepass.

Since Probopass only evolve under radiation from Mount Coronet, and they are the only capable reproducers of their evolutionary chain, researchers are confused as to why several Nosepass live in close proximity to Dewford town in Hoenn, which is actually two regions south of Mount Coronet. The Nosepass seem to be surviving well. Perhaps in some deeper, unexplored area of Dewford Cave there is sufficient radiation for Nosepass to evolve, or perhaps these Nosepass have their own, unknown way of reproduction. This is one of the many mysteries surrounding these mysterious pokemon.

This pokemon is proof that there is still far more to learn about the world of pokemon. We know lots, but every second of life is learning. Thank you for reading about this strange and reclusive pokemon. Perhaps one day, we can use our knowledge to do good for the world of pokemon.

Sorry about my last article being a bit short, I couldn't really think of much else to put. This one is two solid pokemon so it should be alright. I'm going to start it now- just give the A-OK and i'll post it.

The Abomasnow (Victusarbor tabesco) is a species of Pokemon that lives exclusively between the northernmost/southernmost regions and the poles in the small amount of forested areas there (Save for the Snowpoint Abomasnow, which this article is about, but we will get to them later). Because there are so few forests around that area, Abomasnow are very hardy, tough and very vicious. They must move around a lot as forests die in the colder seasons, making them die quickly and rare as they need these forests to survive. Overall, they are very hard to study and see. In fact, they never are, because of their cousins.

The Snowpoint Abomasnow is exactly the same as ordinary Abomasnow anatomy wise, but other than that they are better in almost all ways. Years and years ago, during the end of the ice age, a small group of Abomasnow were separated from the others as the past Sinnoh region floated south, which was where they lived. Despite living away from their former habitat, they actually did better than their northern cousins. The northern section of Sinnoh where they live is rich in forests, making them healthier, and also less fierce than their northern cousins. Yet due to the cold blizzards of northern Sinnoh they are still hardy and tough. Because they are much easier to study, and are exactly the same as northern Abomasnow, these are researched the most. They are also popular with Trainers, because of their hardiness and fierce, intimidating look, and also collectors, as they are very exclusive Pokemon.

Abomasnow, as stated before, need trees to survive. They use the trees as food, ripping them out of the ground and eating them. Luckily for the forests, an Abomasnow won’t need to eat again for 3 months. Abomasnow are often used in festivals at Snowpoint City. On special occasions, Abomasnow are often decorated with lights and decorations and dance around the town. Abomosnow do this because, although they are very tough, hardy and look fierce, the Snowpoint Abomasnow is a kind being, and a great companion.

When it is time to mate, many Abomasnow gather at Lake Acuity, their breeding ground. The breeding session is actually the opposite of what one might think. A big, powerful pokemon would usually fight for mates. But Abomasnow are much calmer. The males attract a mate by decorating themselves with leaves, berries, even bright, attractive pokemon. The female will then choose which male she thinks looks the most decorative.

Abomasnow, despite being plant based pokemon, have animal qualities, and giving birth is one of them. A baby Snover will be born after 9 months of pregnancy. Snover haven’t the strength to lift trees so they rely on drinking the mother’s milk, another animal quality, specifically mammalian. They also feed on the berries that grow regularly around their waist. This trait wears off when they evolve into a fully-fledged Abomasnow, at which point they will leave their mother.

Recent reports have gone round of loud sounds coming from the peak of Mount Coronet. These cries sound exactly like normal Abomasnow, but much louder. Also, people have seen sightings of what appears to be a very large Abomosnow on the Mountain’s side. It has been noted that Abomosnow also live on Mount Coronet, but these are actually smaller than the Snowpoint Abomosnow, so to find a larger one up there is very strange. This creature has been dubbed several names, such as “The Abominable Abomasnow” or “The Bigroot”. Perhaps there really is a strange subspecies of Abomasnow up there. Only more research can tell us that. But what an extraordinary pokemon the Abomasnow is.

I like this sort of realistic PokéDex alot, though there's some questions regarding it.

As the Pokémon in the anime uses their name to communicate (Bulb, saur, bulbasaur and so on), how does this realistic point of view handle these speeches when it comes to evolution?

I mean, does a Charmander suddenly start saying Charmeleon as soon as it's a "fully grown Charmeleon", or when it starts its evolution, or do they perhaps use more animalistic sounds like growls, roars etc?

And a bit on the feedback bit, I noticed on Kakuna/Metapod stage you list a minimum of 6 months in their cacoon stages, but unless I'm all wrong I recall a pokedex entry (possibly only in the anime) where it states it takes an estimated 2 weeks for a Metapod/Kakuna to become a Butterfree/Beedrill.

Flying Safari:

Guys, just to make it clear, this does not offer an actual, canon explanations and is not an actual encuclopedia. Most of what you read is created by the fans, so breeding habits or the reason for Shiny Pokémon will all be made-up. Don't take it as the absolute truth, because it's not; it's just interprutations.

Ok guys just giving some kind criticism. As Pokemon breed based on egg groups, not types, I am confused to everybody using type as a taxonic clade, as it is obvious that it has nothing to do with genetics and is more off a general description of its strengths and weaknesses as well as elemental attacking style. (As two dragon type Pokemon can't breed but a dragon type and a ground type can). But good idea with references evo lines as a species with individuals within the line as subspecies. Besides that everything is great although the dragon post is a little pseudo scientific. Obity could any one give me a list of every mutli egg group Pokemon with the egg groups they have?

Since there were eleven freaking posts, I've condensed them all into one and stuck them under a nice big spoiler so nobody will break their scrollers. Don't do it again.
Also took out two quotes because this ended up being too long to fit into one post. LOL.

The Eastern arseus is a large, undomesticated equine which is known to predominantly live in Mongolia, although sightings and estimates indicate they may range into southern China. Their ears are about eight inches tall, and the position they are held in can convey a variety of emotions. Their manes, which begin between the ears, and their tails are made up of many individual hairs (much like the rapidash, its closest relative), which tend to mat together into stiff plumes. The matted mane tends to extend from the rear of the head parallel to the back, while the matted tail is usually held slightly upwards. The faces vaguely resemble those of the various species of absol, except with a slightly more pronounced muzzle, which fits its biology as a grazer. The fur on the face, unlike on the rest of its body, is green, very short and lays close to the skin – as the fur on the rest of its head is much longer and fluffier, the face tends to be somewhat obscured. From a distance, the faintly humanoid face of the arseus, coupled with its long neck and torso, may have given rise to myths of centaurs. Their hooves are long, and unlike the rapidash, which rests with its entire hoof on the ground, the arseus only walks on the very tips. The hooves’ (usually) gold color and high reflectivity allows foals to keep track of their mother, and all members to quickly gauge the position of the herd around them. Their fur is usually white - but can be a yellow-gold on some individuals – which darkens to a greyish black along the torso and belly. All arseus, except for the youngest foals, have a visible, wheel-shaped projection of energy about their bodies. This energy, assumed by scientists to be psychic in nature, despite arseus not normally possessing a psychic typing, is projected subconsciously by the animal to protect it from being jumped by most predators. The “energy wheel” is, like its hooves, usually gold in color, but upon certain stimulus the color will change.

Western scientists have not yet decided on an English-language name for the creature (despite it being known in the West for over a century), although many assume it will, in the tradition of most all “legendaries,” simply stay what it’s been for so long – “Arseus.” Despite this lack of a finalized name, Omega Pharma, a Belgian pharmaceutical firm, chose to officially name its Professional Health division “Arseus” in 2006.

Habits

Like all “legendary” species, the arseus is generally assumed to be near extinct (a 2005 estimate places their total population at about two hundred-fifty specimens, with a few others in zoos or privately owned). However, due to their social nature and herd living, studying arseus, in comparison to most other pokémon officially classed as “legendary,” has been simpler, leading to a great deal more information available to fill in the gaps of study. Also, many of their social habits are roughly identical to their close relatives, the generally domesticated rapidash, which has also helped in figuring out these elusive pokémon.

Eastern arseus tend to live in small bands, made up of adult mares, foals, and younglings of either gender – generally about three to five specimens. Small bands that share territory make up each “herd,” which are loosely knit, and, contrary to myth, led by a mare, rather than a stallion. Each herd does have at least one stallion, however, and occasionally a few other adult males of a less dominant nature. Other arseus will generally not attempt to challenge members of their own herd for dominance (although newly sexually mature young males might), but will stay in their established positions and not act outside of it.

Although the herd structure is rather loose, all the members will cooperate. Those that do misbehave are sometimes attacked – which can leave the victim crippled and easy prey for predators – or forced out of the herd, where it likely will not survive unless it can join up with another.

Most arseus are allowed to stay within their band or herd until they grow to sexual maturity. Once they are sexually mature, however, the stallion will drive all of them, both male and female, away – it is theorized that this is to keep the male from inbreeding with his own daughters and the males from acting out and trying to claim dominance for themselves. Females usually have no trouble in joining up with another band, although the males will join in small groups until they can gain dominance over a herd of their own.

The way arseus group in their herds is reflective of their social status. On the edge of the herd are the lowest animals – as the edges are most exposed to predators, and the inner circles – reserved for high up animals and foals – are the safest. The herd stallion, however, will also remain on the edge to fight predators, and will stay at the rear of the herd when it moves.

Multi-Type and Legendary Status

Although it is a preyed upon herd animal, the arseus is also considered one of the strongest and most powerful of all pokémon species – some say the most powerful. Strong, fast, and intelligent, what enemies it cannot deter with its energy wheel it can often take down by the sheer strength of its attacks. It is the only pokémon capable of learning a variety of intensely strong abilities, and, much like another legendary, the mew, it can learn virtually any attack – the only exception being those that involve the use of hands or arms, which it lacks.

It it also incredibly adaptive – using the same innate psychic ability with which they project the energy wheel, it can also unleash attacks of any element with the same intensity of a pokémon that is naturally of that type. This latter ability, however, lies dormant unless the arseus comes in contact with various minerals. These minerals, which are sometimes formed into “plates” by the few Trainers who are lucky enough to possess an arseus, vary its color-providing melanin, changing the hues of various parts of the arseus’s body. The color it becomes, which varies with the plate, also unleashes a “changer hormone” from the animal’s pineal gland, which in turn unleashes the psychic ability that boosts the strength of a certain element. The boost is strong enough to mimic the heightened power that pokémon of that type would naturally possess, along with giving arseus itself the element’s strengths and weaknesses.

There are sixteen different minerals known to cause arseus to change their types – although study of its genetic code has revealed that it can change into yet one more type – the strange, unclassified group in which the move Curse is classed. Scientists and Trainers have searched for years, seeking the “seventeenth mineral,” but as of this writing, no known method is known.

Arseus features in many ancient myths of far-east Asia as “the first pokémon created when the universe began” (comparable to the ancient South American myths about mews). These myths, though obviously just myths and not reflective of much in reality, are thought to have come around due to the vaguely humanlike face of the creature (likening it, perhaps, to a God in the mind of ancient peoples) and its power (which likely would have awed anyone who tried to hunt it or capture it). Modern scientists, for the latter reason and more, do not hesitate in the least about classifying it in the group known as “Legendaries.”

Food and Feeding

Arseus are strictly herbivores. Most of their food is obtained by grazing – eating grasses or other low-lying plants by lowering its head to the earth - or browsing, which involves eating berries and other plant matter from off bushes and short trees at face level. It will also dig at the earth with its hooves to uncover root vegetables such as potatoes or carrots, and will travel to salt deposits in the spring, to lick the rocks. By doing so, it gets the sodium, iron, calcium, and other minerals needed for their bone and muscle growth.

In winter, or times of hardship, it may eat eggs, but only as a last resort where protein is desperately needed.

Mid-sized to large pokémon will prey on the foals, although only the largest and fastest predators can manage to take down an adult. Pack hunters almost invariably lose a member of their group when they go after arseus herds, making them, for many predators, a last resort born out of desperation.

Breeding

Eastern arseus foals in a herd all share a common father – the main stallion. In late spring to early summer, the male will mount anywhere from eight to twelve mares, with little ceremony or ritual. The females will carry the eggs internally until early the next spring, when they will finally lay them – almost always one at a time, though there may occasionally be two. The eggs are only incubated outside the body for three weeks to a month, when they will finally hatch into foals. The foals – colts if they are male, and fillies if they are female - can stand up shortly after being hatched, and can walk around within a few hours. They will not, however, develop the power needed to project their energy wheels until they are a month old, making them very tempting to predators if they wander out from the center of the herd.

Sorry to busrt your bubble but Arceus is (at least canoncially) (a) God. You could of easily explained a God with Quatum based biolgy but insetad yuo opted to mortalize it and give it a HUAMN genus, as I've staed egg groups are breding caldes and no egg groups are either guvinle or monogenus.
It should also be pointed out that you consider Pokemon liek Weeedle and Starmie guvinles, yet they are cabilbe of breeding. You could explain thsi by stating that they all pokemon have "starter" pre-evos that just are born grown-up in the wild via me ot Dragonfree's theroy.
Obity since Charizard vanmate with Venasaur I doubt they would eat them.

The Eastern tawny pikachu is probably one of the best-known wild mammals throughout Europe and Asia. Its long, sensitive ears are 4.5-5 in length. The hind legs are only slightly shorter, at 3.5-4 inches in length. These pokémon have prominent black fur plumes on their ears. The tail is plumed and bushy, with hairs that may reach to seven inches in length; when the animal sits the tail is held over the back in an upright position. The unusual shape is a result of sensitive bony growths extending from the vertebrae of the tail, an adaptation that better allows the pikachu to pick up air currents and vibrations. The hind legs are longer and more powerful than the forelegs. The fur is a tawny yellow-brown along the back and sides, with the base of the tail darkening to a rich brown. The animal’s ‘thumbs’ are the shortest ‘fingers’, the others are slightly longer, with high, sharp claws. The toes of the hind paws are all of the same length, the claws similar to those on the forepaws but non-retractable, and more powerful.

All electric types have "receptor organs" on their bodies - on sciurids such as the eastern tawny pikachu, it's the spots on their cheeks. These “spots” are not a marking in their fur - they're sensitive patches of skin filled with electroplaques, electricity generating cels that are stacked like a battery. When required, a pikachu generates acetylcholine, a chemical which "sends a message" to the electroplaques in its cheeks, which allow it to produce electricity. The power of the electricity all sciurids generate is of average voltage and low amperage; it is unlikely to kill but only stun. The Eastern tawny pikachu uses electricity to “greet” one another while in a herd by pressing their cheek close to the cheek of another, and also to hunt and defend itself.

The pichu is smaller – about a foot in length – and of a paler tawny color. Their ears, about five inches long, are wide and almost always held in a semi-upright position, at about a 45 degree angle to the back. A thick black ruff of fur circles the neck, and their tails, also black, are about four inches in length. Their habits are the same as the mature pikachu.

The Eastern tawny raichu does not exist as a wild species. Their habits in captivity will be discussed in brief at the end of this article.

Habits

The Eastern tawny pikachu is most commonly found in coniferous forests, but it also inhabits deciduous woodland and suburban development areas. They do not live too close to human dwellings, but will venture to them if birdfeeders, suet, or other food sources are nearby.

For most of the year, the pikachu lives alone, establishing and defending a territory surrounding its drey, or nest. The drey is spherical in shape and made of leaves and sticks tightly woven together, and is often situated in the higher branches of a tree, usually a conifer. The territory of each individual is roughly a quarter-mile square, but it could be larger if food in the area is scarce.

Food and Feeding

The belief that pikachu are vegetarians is a widespread, but totally incorrect, urban legend. All sciurids are omnivores, and the Eastern tawny pikachu is no exception to this rule. Along with the seeds (primarily from pine cones), nuts, mushrooms, and fruits that make up the bulk of their diet, pikachu will also eat eggs, baby birds, and even baby mammals (including its own relatives; plusle, minun and pachirisu are all part of its diet).

Excellent climbers, the pikachu spends much of its time in trees, but will travel to the ground to forage for nuts, seeds and mushrooms. Fruit and pinecones are eaten right off the tree branch, or stored for the winter, as pikachu do not hibernate. They often bury their food, and use their keen sense of smell to find these caches later on.

Breeding

Pikachu have two breeding seasons, one in late winter to early spring, and the other from mid to late summer. During this time, when the females are fertile, the pikachu of a general area will congregate into a mass group called a herd, where the males will compete for females. Eastern tawny pikachu neither mate for life nor form pair bonds; after mating, the male departs and the female is left to incubate the eggs and raise the young by herself. Five to seven days after mating, the female will lay one to six eggs. The eggs are about three inches in size, and a pale brown color, flecked with small pink, white and yellow spots. For about a month, the mother will incubate the eggs; and, after they hatch, will nurse the pichu for up to two months. The pichu are hatched with a full coat of fur and fully developed claws and teeth; however, they are blind and deaf, and cannot stand. At eight to ten weeks of age, the pichu leave the nest and find their own territories.

The Eastern Tawny Raichu

The Eastern tawny raichu only occurs when the pikachu is exposed to a thunderstone. Thunderstones are technically known in the scientific community as lodestones – when a mineral known as magnetite (Fe3O4) is struck by lightning to produce a unique crystalline structure and a magnetic pull. While magnetite is a common mineral, lodestones are incredibly rare, and the chances of a wild pikachu ever coming in contact with it to induce “evolution” is almost none. Thus, what we know of the eastern tawny raichu’s habits come from observing it in captivity.

Captive raichu do not climb often; their large size regulates them to a more ground-based existence than the wild arboreal pikachu and pichu. They will, when living outside, create nests on the ground similar to the pikachu’s drey, though usually made of grass. Their longer tails serve as grounds; to allow them to discharge extra electricity harmlessly, as they are more susceptible to excessive buildup than wild sciurids. Their habits are otherwise similar to the pikachu.

What do you mean by more than 20 species/ Sorry if thsi has been brought up before but I am just going down the lidt and quating one by one

Steelix, also known as the Iron Serpent is a pokemon of the Steel/Ground element. They are large creatures and their natural habitat includes mountains, caves and underground caverns. They have a serpent like shape akin to Ekans and Seviper but are in no way related. The exterior of Steelix seems to be separated into large blocks which become smaller in size from head to tail tip instead of the standard uniform and sleek shape of a serpent. The body is dull gray in color which becomes darker as a Steelix matures. Unlike the bodies of its young, Steelix’s have 3 pair’s of large blunt protrusions from the body which replace the horn that was present when it was an Onix. The use remains the same however; the horns are used in self defense and for digging. It should also be noted that Steelix’s have the tendency to spin rapidly by balancing on its tail, although this is a misconcepton as a Steelix in reality bury's a portion of its body to balance it but nonethelss it is a marvelous feat for such a large creature. This is probably how they dig as well. The Steelix’s head is rather peculiar. Its lower jaw extends in front of its upper jaw and it has a set of 5 interlocking teeth which when seen with the mouth closed make it seem to grin. The top of the head features two small blunt protrusions, possibly dull horns and the neck is surrounded by more blunt protrusions. Its eyes have become much smaller than they were as an Onix and the pupils become red. This is due to the fact that an Onix retires underground for several months before coming out as a matured Steelix.

There are 2 sub-species of Steelix, the Greater Mountain Steelix and the lesser Lowland Steelix. The mountain Steelix is highly territorial and spends most of its time outside surveying its range. If any pokemon ventures into its turf, a Steelix will immediately dispatch it. The lesser Lowland Steelix however, is a bit more tolerant and it is not as territorial as its mountain cousin. Also, unlike its mountain cousin it spends most of its time in caves or underground and rarely ventures out. Steelix’s are herbivores and their main diet consists of the leaves of pine trees (mountain) or deciduous tress (lowland) and shrub bushes. Steelix’s also require a weekly supplement of iron minerals which help to keep its body hard and resistant from most attacks, due to which they have been known to enter old abandoned mines. These mines are also used by females to lay eggs and take care of their young. The mating season begins in the month of April and it is truly a spectacular sight to see as it is the only time that males and females congregate in one area. Here, male Steelix’s will try to woo a suitable female by either a show of strength in which it battles an opposing male or a dance in which it spins rapidly on its tail, literally showing off. A male may mate, with as many as 10 females during this time.

Streelix's are Ovoviviparous. After the mating season, the female begins to eat excessively, to provide food both for herself and her young during the 4 month gestation period. It then digs a cave or uses an old abandoned mine, as mentioned before, as a suitable egg laying spot and prepares to hibernate. After 4 months, it lays 2-3 eggs. By this time the female has lost a lot of weight, so she starts to eat again and collect's vegetation for her young. After 3 days the eggs hatch into baby Onix (7 feet long and weighing in at 85 lbs) whose body is soft and takes 2 months to harden. The mother takes care of her young and protects them from predators for 5 months, after which they are left to fend for themselves.
Baby Onix eat mainly minerals to harden their bodies for the first few weeks and then switch to eating vegetation that their mother provides. Onix's reach their 'teenage' state in 45 years after which they retire underground and only come out as a matured Steelix whose average lifespan is 85 years. Steelix and Onix have not been kept in captivity due to their large habitat requirements and the difficulty in handling such large creatures.

Advice for trainers: Onix’s have gained the title ‘gentle giants’ due to their general friendliness. It has been a well known fact that Onix’s can easily be trained into loyal partners for pokemon trainers as long as their ‘friendship’ is well nurtured. Though Onix’s can be approached without fear, Steelix’s are to be approached with caution due to their territorial behavior. There have also been rumours of Steelix's living for a 100 yrs and becoming crystaline, though this is a false fact because most Steelix's dont live up to be even 90.

Why has everybody ignored Trade-evoing pokemon? You just write them off as if the trading wasnt involed at all. You also seem to neglct how quickly eggs can be laid.

Without further ado, here's the Kabutops article. I couldn't decide how to make it move for a while. The Dex said it swam but I thought it would have to swim like a person. Not very efficient for a water type. Anyhow, I figured it out so here it is. Criticism welcomed if not enjoyed...

Kabutops is a carnivorous, ocean-dwelling pokemon. Its body is covered by a very tough exoskeleton and its forearms are tipped with 2 foot blades. Though thought to be extinct, Kabutops larvae have been found in the wild in very rare instances. Its body is extremely streamlined which enables it to move about with ease on the ocean floor. The actual method of locomotion used by Kabutops is debatable. Some scientists originally believed that it swam but with the discovery of so many skeletons in a prone position with prey underneath of them, it is now widely believed that Kabutops moved about by crawling on the smaller claws of its feet and the large sharp claws on its forearms. With this new discovery, it can be assumed that Kabutops hunted by slinking along the muddy bottom and pouncing on its prey.

Kabutops is unique in that its body is encased in a tough exoskeleton but the fossilized remains (and few living specimens that were regenerated from fossilized DNA) also contain an inner skeleton. Scientists are still unsure of the exact purpose of this inner skeleton but studies are currently being conducted on the few living specimens. The exoskeleton of a Kabutops is made up of many interlocking plates. These plates allow the exoskeleton to be very flexible yet still maintain its durability. Tests have actually shown that a Kabutops exoskeleton can resist even gunfire for short periods of time. The plates have also shown an ability to heal themselves over time if damaged.

Kabutops’ feeding habits are also somewhat of a mystery. The few living specimens will not feed in captivity and only feed in the wild at night. One theory was that Kabutops was vampiric. It was thought to use its large claws to open up wounds in its prey and drink their blood. It would then let the prey go rather than kill it in order to preserve the amount of prey they could hunt. This theory seemed to be proven by tubes leading from its rather diminutive mouth to two large organs thought to be holding and digesting chambers for the blood. After much research, though, this theory was refuted because of the discovery of tubes leading from the large claws on the forearms directly to the veins of the Kabutops. These tubes were found to have other forms of organic residue that did not belong to Kabutops. It is now thought that Kabutops feeds by stabbing its prey with its claws and squirting digestive juice from one of the organs connected to the mouth. It then drains the digested tissue directly into its bloodstream where enzymes break it down into energy for the Kabutops. The other organ contains pressurized water that can be squirted in self-defense.

Until very recently, Kabutops’ mating habits were unknown. It is now proven that Kabutops reproduce externally. The female Kabutops lays her eggs (up to 10 at a time) in a nest she digs in the sand for a week every year. The week in question is apparently decided at random but it may have something to do with the cycles of the moon. The female then releases a chemical to attract males to fertilize the eggs. Once the chemical is released, the female buries the eggs and leaves. She doesn’t care for the young at all. The young remain buried in their eggs for 5 weeks before hatching. The larval Kabutops are called Kabuto. Kabuto are rarely larger than one foot in length. They are covered by a hard shell through which their eyes protrude so they can see their surroundings. The underbelly of a Kabuto has four claws which it uses to walk about and gather food into its mouth. Kabuto feed on small organisms on the ocean floor such as newly hatched Krabby and even other Kabuto eggs. After about 5 years as a Kabuto, the larvae have grown enough to be considered Kabutops.

In the wild, Kabutops should be approached with extreme caution. They can move very quickly along the ocean floor and blend well against a muddy bottom. Their claws are very sharp and may contain rotting tissue that could cause sever infections. They are very aggressive if threatened and will attack repeatedly. The pressurized water launched by Kabutops can also cause large bruising and has even been known to kill if struck in the throat. Should you discover an injured Kabutops, keep in mind that they are very rare and very dangerous. Do not approach and contact your local authorities immediately.

Good. Only 2 problems.

1.you refute canon not once but twice when yuo say it dosen tswim and also drinks blood.
2. You call kabuto "larava" yet they can breed, and even if they were you say the grow over time which would classify them as nyphs.

Unown are the famous, letter-shaped pokemon that currently take reign in Johto, and a few unconfirmed areas’, presumed to be ruins, in the Sevii Island Archipelago by a few anonymous sources in the Kanto region. Describing Unown can be a troubling thing, seeing as only a handful of people have ever bared the luck of witnessing such a character, and scientific assumptions can only be concluded. But perhaps even more strange, scientists have created there own image of Unown using the latest, high end technology and assume that many of the reported look like a set of letters. Following the same pattern as with Unown T, the leading scientists have created an entire set of twenty-three supposed pokemon of the Unown variety.

All share common traits, such as the pure onyx black pallet, said to be in a weak form of boulder rock, coincidentally in the same color and format as melted magma and various volcano stone debris. Also, such as in the case of the T Unown, there is usually a small circle, or oval shape within the center of Unown, and a vibrant white light, where as a minute dot of stone is placed in the middle like an average human pupil. The letter shape then branches off around the base of that circle/oval, representing that respective word. Flipping them over, the backside of Unown is covered up with an uninterrupted plain of stone, and a very thin layer of invisible energy spread along it’s back as well.

The energy spread along Unown’s back hide have attempted to be simulated and measured, but after an extensive project at many various studios, it was dropped and classified as one of the first unsolved mysteries regarding the pokemon. It was said the levels of energy were just too chaotic to record, while others think it was the lack of technology on the researching development’s part. Whatever the case, it displayed a message to all aspiring trainers that it’s energy was too much for a machine to handle, even if the machine was low grade.

This also led to the many ideas of its type infraction. Judging by earlier results, the top researchers initially decided it was Psychic, the most varied in mental areas such as power level, but other opinions formed by Unown’s genetic structure. Because it was made of a nice sheet of charcoal colored melted boulders, it was said to be Rock as it’s official type, while Psychic was just a side ability. This was soon disproved, though, as by re-review, it was clear Unown did not have the same kind of solid defense most rock types had possessed, leaving Psychic once again as the dominant type.

After looking over the basic body structure of Unown, it was clear to Unown could breed physically. However, a small group of extremists have had a hypothesis that two Unown rather connect as one, such as two A Unown’s overlapping each other, and lift a melted piece of ash colored rock between the two using there naturally psychic talents, and let the two Unown share there chaotic radiation. The melted stone is then flattened by the radiation, and the two Unown use there own bodies as molds for the new Unown, until finally they open up a circle/oval in the same spot theirs are, and fill that with each of there own energy, and thus creating a brand new A Unown.

Through much public exposure, it has been revealed that some ancient works and books that it is believed for Unown to be a fabled pokemon, capable of creating astounding things. But many scientists set out to disprove such a theory, displaying that Unown each had a very tangible source of energy, though there control of it is very poor, resulting in there only prime trainer’s use as a purely novelty pokemon. However, it was uncovered of an ancient, medieval time art book with a two-page spread of a chain of Unown, all connected and swirling around in a cosmic universe.

Many thought this as just a mere pop-up book from the early discovery of Unown, and ignored it verily. However, when reviewing the Unown’s breeding capabilities, they realized that Unown, when linked with another Unown, could exhibit astounding things, like creating life with just there Psychic power, and stone. With a connection of thousands of Unown, the possibilities could be endless.

Looking more into this, they found an old folklore of the Unown descent. It told of Unown having the ability to create new realities out of thoughts and dreams. But this had required a host of some sort, and sure enough the legend told of a girl creating a whole new world out of her dreams, when stumbling upon a collection of tablets with the Unown symbols on the fronts that summoned them. This was widely disbelieved, but sent a few researchers to inspect the walls of Union Cave.

By meddling with the caves outer puzzle, they had revealed a hidden chamber with various items scattered about the floor, and a message along the front wall of the chamber. It read, “Our words shall remain here for the ages.
Thus we shall erect a Pokemon statue outside.
They possess great insight and refuse the outside world.
We humans must learn to walk in harmony with them.
We depart for their sakes.

The statues it displayed were Areodactyl, Kabuto, Onymate, and Ho-Oh. The Unown seem to say that there word shall stay forever, and the pokemon stated above have great insight and knowledge of the world, yet rarely reveal them. Many people are absolutely baffled by this explanation, and even make up some theory of their own. One of the most highly regarded Unown experts have thought they were thinking of the legendary pokemon Suicune, seeing as it is the only major powerful legend that could possibly destroy the pokemon above. On an interesting note though, the first three stated pokes are said to be extinct.

On a final note, Unown are very powerful pokemon. Alone they could only do the basics of a Psychic pokemon, and something special. They could read minds, and display a scope of reality using the mind of the one they wish to show, whether it is there own mind, or a simple pokemon’s. Together, though, they can be limitless within their power bonds, it is thought, because each Unown shares and divides there own power within each other to control the others bit of power. With that, it seems like anything could be possible. When battling, though, an individual Unown will usually just get blow away. They have only been able to learn one categorized attack, the mysterious Secret Power.

It’s said that when looking into an Unown’s eyes, the light never ends. All there power is stored within them, and hidden, using a tiny bit to even attach to ruins if they wish to, and display all sorts of messages, but only with other Unown. This, along with the countless other not known facts about them, truly give the Unknown factor to the Unown.

I haven't done a single article in the longest time, so I might as well write one now. I'll be writing an article on the Pokérus. (If a glitch can have it's own entry, why not a virus?)

At some point in many trainer's career, their pokémon may become sick with a certain virus known as the pokérus. Pokémon exibit drowsiness, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing and all sorts of aliments, thankfully the condition dissappears after about 24 hours or so, only to be passed on to another member of that person's team.

But what exactly is the Pokérus? The pokérus is a lifeform that's microscopic, and can only be seen with a powerful microscope. It was discovered that the Pokérus is made up of a colony of 100 or more different "speices" or types of viruses. It could be likened to an entire regional dex contained in a single infected pokémon. After examining different samples from infected and non-infected pokémon, It's been concluded that all of these "speices" are all quite common and at least one kind or another can be found on nearly every pokémon. It is only when every single one of these different viruses are present on a single pokémon that Pokérus develops.

If this is so, then why doesn't the pokémon become violently ill? It is hypothoized that all of the viruses are competing against each other and the host pokémon's immune system. However, it is a losing battle for the viruses and immune system eventually subdues them.

There are several ongoing debates concerning Pokérus. For example, can these lifeforms be considered pokémon? are they even alive? This is debateable since they do not completely fit the definition of life.

Unlike pokémon and humans, Pokérus are not made up of cells, they only consist of strands of DNA contained in a casing made of protein. This protein casing can take many different shapes: spheres, pyramids, cubes, and even more complex shapes such as a screw with spider-like legs have been observed. Whatever the shape it may be, they all have a single purpose: to find a host cell and to "inject it's DNA cargo into it. The viruses' DNA then uses the cell's biomechanics to replicate more of the virus' DNA and protein casings. The cell then dies and more of the viruses are released to infect other cells. Eventually, some of the host's cells develop an immunity to the virus, and the virus invasion dies out on the host. However, by this time, the host pokémon must have come into contact with another pokémon, thus spreading the virus even further along.

It is noted that The pokérus is probably one of the most hardy lifeforms we know of. Being able to infect every single speices of pokémon is no easy feat. They can go from living on a firey slugma to an ice cold glalie to a toxic muk quite easily. It is also theorized that it can even survive in the most inhospitable enviroments on earth and even in the vacumn of space.

Nice, but you fail to note it's effort point doubling effects.

O.k. my article binge is done now to get down to business.

We need a constant taxonomical rank as genera have differed from real world genera *is still glaring at Pink Parka* to odd names. I suggest that we use commonplace Latin for the egg group followed up by its Japanese name. It quaint, cute and it shows heritage.
So let’s break this down.

The species name would be the Japanese name. Based on this evidence though, we have to consider different Pokemon within an evo line as different species. Oddish will be an exception for purposes of maintaining cannon (which is also why the plant egg group is referred to as Oddium)

Togepi is a small and weak bird pokemon, though it has no traits that normal birds have, like feathers, beak and claws.
Togepi is an egg-shaped pokemon with a spikey head, and have even much of its shell left since birth. Without this, togepis cant survive. The shell keep the heat for togepi so it cant froze to death and the shell protects togepi smaller hits and falls. Togepis inner skeleton is quite weak and cant take such hits.
The spikes lures foes to think it is uneatable. However, when its afraid, it extract its spikes looking like a tasty egg.
Togepis are vegetarians, only eating berrys and drinking water.

Togepi has small psychic powers: it can feel other creatures feelings and emotions, and make barriers to protect it from other pokemons, like sneasel and pidgeotto.
Togepi also has the ability to bring happiness to its friends and its owner, in olden times togepis was used as anti-depressive therapy. However, if the owner is cruel and evil, the togepi will grow sad and cry very often.

At the age 5-6, most togepis evolve into Togetic by being very, very happy. The togetic lose their shell, grows a neck, wings and larger legs. The head is the same as togepi except the spikes are reduced into 3-4 pieces.
Oddly enough, it´s down has same symbols as togepis eggshell.

At the spring time, it´s breeding time. Togetics pair up by air dances, doing loops and fly around. If the female think that the male is worthy enough, they pair.
The togetics break up after the pairing.
However, many togetics cant pair, more than 7 out of 8 of the togetic population is male and the females cant pair with more than one male during the breeding time.

At the begining of fall, the togepi eggs hatch. Usally there are 1-2 togepis. The togetic mother take care of the babies and give them food. After 3 years, when togepis can use their sheild, they leave their mother.

Lately, in 2002, it was officially confirmed that there is evolution of Togetic, called Togekiss, by evolving in pokemon zoo. Before that, it was only mentioned in legends and fairy tales. Apparently, togetic evolves when it makes contact with the Light Stone. The light stone isnt really a stone, it´s a weird mineral that stores light.
The chance that a togetic makes contact with a light stone in the wild is lower than 2%.

Togekiss looks more like togepi, its has no longer a neck, is egg-shaped again and have shorter legs than togetic.
The only thing that is inherited from togetic is the wings.
The wings are more developed and larger than before.
Its wings and bodyshape is also aerodynamic, this makes it fast and silent. This is one reason it hasnt been discovered before.

Togepi, Togetic and Togekiss are very rare and few, and have no reliable location. There also been reports about Togepi eggs in Kanto, Johto and Sevii island.
There are also reports about wild Togepis in Sinnoh and about wild Togetics in Kanto and Johto.
The togepi species are protected, its not allowed to catch or hunt wild baby togepis. The togepi race is also suffering of inbreeding. Pokémon Rangers are working against this by moving females from one place to an place with no or few females.

what do you think? some parts that i should put in?
i will edit this away later

new rank too

If catching togepi is illgal than how do you do it in D/P
Obity were di you get the wildd Togeticin kanto and Johto from?

This project isn't mean to be canon. That's the point. If it were just a canon summary, than there really wouldn't be any reason for this project to exist (does the world need a second Bulbapedia?). We, the writers, are imagining what pokemon could possibly be like if they were real creatures that actually existed. Taking some inspiration from canon, for sure, but not limiting ourselves to it.

It's just something that we do for fun, and to exercise our imaginations. I have no objection to the fact that you disagree with much of what we wrote - after all, the first post makes it clear the project is NOT intended to be canon, merely a creative project - but please, from now on, can you make your objections in a single post? The fact that you're quoting most every article and making double post after double post is a little bit obnoxious - a single post making your point would have been sufficient. Stop beating this dead horse - the project isn't supposed to be canon, and it's hardly even active anymore, anyway. ^^' And I'm sorry if you have such a problem with me when you don't even know me - I just enjoy imagining what pokemon would be like as real creatures. You are under no requirement to agree with me, but I would appreciate it if you'd cut it out with the derisive comments, such as your repeated "glares in my direction." This isn't worth getting wound up about, you know?

Please don't friend me if I have no idea who you are.
Since we can't claim Pokémon in the Bishie thread anymore....I claimed the lovely Ranger Solana instead. All mine!
My Pokémon claim is Minun...Plusle's better, but Minun is still cute! XD

Well, good job ignoring the me and the Rules again; now you're banned. Smart. And now I'm merging your posts into one to keep down the eyesore. Because of the big quotes it is once again going under a spoiler. Good job.

Weavile (Javas Feles)
Height: 3’ 13” Weight: 68 lbs

Weavile are known widely for the blood red crown upon their heads, but even more so for their lightning-fast swiping techniques. These swift, cat-like Pokemon are natural thieves, so caution is advised when handling, training or taking care of them as well as their young. Scavengers by nature, Weavile usually lives in small groups of two to three, and only in great times then do they stick together in big groups. A typical wild Weavile lives up to the age of 27-35, whereas domesticated ones can stay as old as 48 years.

These graceful thieves usually live in small, shallow caves, away from the dangers of any savage, carnivorous or territorial Pokemon such as Tyranitar or Nidoking. Their diet consists of berries, plants and more mainly, carrion, due to their inability to take down prey with their feather-light bodies and rather delicate claws. Both the male and female hunt, usually for themselves. With delicate bodies and arms, these physical limitations make them an easy prey; they are however gifted with amazing muscles in their hind legs that allow them to leap as high as 75 feet! This height is especially no mean feat for a Pokemon as small as the Weavile. It is because of this gift, including their ever-sharp ears, that the Weavile can still manage to exist even today.

Mating season for these Pokemon comes along during the month of March. The males, who are usually bigger, stronger and sleeker than the females, duel each other for the mate of their choice. There have been times where the female will step out to stop the battle, as she already has her chosen one in mind. It is undeniably risky, as the female stands at a good chance of being killed accidentally. After mating, the female then goes through an incubation period of about 7-9 months before giving birth to their young, typically called Sneasel. Each incubation usually produces a single Sneasel, just as a human does, while twins and triples occur more rarely. There has been no record of any Sneasel quadruplets yet. Weavile mates are not exceptionally loyal to each other; usually breaking apart after their young has reached their maturity age of 7. A typical Weavile could have up to many as 10 mates and above.

Both Weavile and Sneasel are nocturnal, as the more savage beasts are usually asleep by then. However, they are not spared from the wrath from the ever-territorial packs of Houndoom and Mightyena if they ever tread across their path. Even with that, the death rate of Weavile are rather low despite their size. Both of these Pokemon are usually the top choices of any thief or assassin’s arsenal due to their silent ways. However, Weavile are rather feisty and hard to gain loyalty, so these burglars would favor the smaller and sleeker Sneasel over their more fetish seniors.

Taking into consideration that Groudon is a legendary, I hope you will understand my point of veiw...

If not, I would love resrve this slot and take a bit more time on thsi Pokemon...You can see by my username that im obsessed with them...

And it did almost destroy the world a few years back (in canon. I assuem that is proof enough)

Can I reeserve Lefaeon and Galciaon(sorry if reseved) if not then how 'bout tehe rest of teh aproicrn theoy and possibly pokemon breeding styl;es and facts? and I would still gretly apreciate that list.

Yeah as stated this is a purely fictional project. Its all the authors own interpretations. You dont have to agree but you should also respect other peoples work. But yeah this has been said already.

If you wish to have something here that explains "shinies" or Pokemon speech you are free to write any article. You dont have to be restricted by whats on the front page. Write about anything you like.

Encyclopedia Pokemonia, a real world view on Pokemon. Compiled by the members of SPPf.

This thread is good but it is lacking one thing ,order, people can make Pokemon “magical” (Groudon) make them not nearly as enigmas (Mew) give them odd local (Plusle and Minum) and even use real world genera and base there article on that (which is an obvious mistake) (example: All of Pink Parka ‘s articles) . We don’t have any rules thus we get no stable “canon’ and by "canon” i mean what is and isn’t acceptable if we do not recognize canon, which parts? Some say legendary Pokemon have great power others say they are just rare some veer as far as to saying that there are multiple legendaries in captivity .(the Three Beast Articles ). We don’t know if the anime or the game is canon (see Castform[which needs to be updated by the way]) and we don’t recognize egg groups ( as we have Charizard eating a potential mate , a Venasuar) we have right out denied factual statements from NoA( see Pikachu) with out even saying what is fact and what isn’t. I don't think you should blame Groudon for being “unrealistic" when we haven’t even defined what “realistic “is we should at least lay down some guide lines such as

• Can “magic” exist or not or can we have a scientifically explained version or some combination of the three (contradiction with the Arceus article and Groudon article)
• Do ghost Pokemon have no abilities and are myths or is there a scientific explanation for there “supernatural" powers. (contridiction with the ghost Pokemon article and the Genegar article
• Do Pokemon evolve by trade or do we retcon it out of our existence (contradictions Steelix and Golem)
• What ‘Genera’ do we use and how does this effect breeding (contradiction Jynx and Pulse/Minum)
• Do poke balls a, gyms and the like even exist here
• What is our real "barrier" as in when are we stepping the line into impossibility and thus must break canon in order to stay plausible Ocaam's razor aside.
• Do we have a “as close as you get policy” were you come as close to canon as possible while still staying realistic
• And what of evolution? it has been stated as being anything from a gradual process to coming out of a cocoon(not a pre evo like Metapod), to some weird life cycle thing (Budew)
You must answer these questions in order for us to have some semblance of order

You shoul also update the Jappanese names since Diamond and Pearl came out it's a little weird to click "Shinx" and get "Korinku".

EDIT: and I could really use that list of multi-egg group pokemon

It's just something that we do for fun, and to exercise our imaginations. I have no objection to the fact that you disagree with much of what we wrote - after all, the first post makes it clear the project is NOT intended to be canon, merely a creative project - but please, from now on, can you make your objections in a single post? The fact that you're quoting most every article and making double post after double post is a little bit obnoxious - a single post making your point would have been sufficient. Stop beating this dead horse - the project isn't supposed to be canon, and it's hardly even active anymore, anyway. ^^' And I'm sorry if you have such a problem with me when you don't even know me - I just enjoy imagining what pokemon would be like as real creatures. You are under no requirement to agree with me, but I would appreciate it if you'd cut it out with the derisive comments, such as your repeated "glares in my direction." This isn't worth getting wound up about, you know?

Yeah your right PP it’s just that if were gonna explain things with science we can’t ignore details so they are easier to explain. (The-editing-room.com has started doing this with its mockeries). But seriously you EXTREMELY mortalize Pokemon, and you reference Pokemon as "Californian" when so far we only know about Japan, you say there are 20 species (a detail yet to be explained) and you use REAL WORLD GENERA which not only makes no sense as Pokemon wouldn’t fit any where near them, but you define there attributes based on there "genus" for example you call Pikachu an omnivore base don the fact you think it is an schizi whatever (sorry but I have memory problems). you also say that Pachurisu is the genetically the most similar to Pikachu when in fact you could say the same thing for any Pokemon in it's egg group (ok that last one was a stretch). You also, instead of scientifically explaining the god powers of certain Pokemon, take the easy way out and write them off as swamp gas and fairy tales. If i can base an entire culture/trading card game/ science around a hypothetical way for magic to exist I think you can explain ONE- obviously not a euphene- Pokemon.
Obity - have a nice day.

But still my hostility towards you is probably unjustified…. Wait. What I am saying? You turned God into a horse my hostility is totally justifiable.

Does it really matter in the end if the articles are uniform or not? I mean, yeah it would be nice if every article was, but then that would mean that everyone would have to write in a style that they are not comfortable with. I follow one format, PPG follows another, doesn't make it wrong either way.
